The NMLM celebration will include the following activities:

• Open Access Week will be observed October 23-29. 
• October is also Archives Month and the Society of North Carolina Archivists is highlighting Scandal, Nuisance, Calamity, and Anguish in the Archives!

Open Access (OA) Week is a great reason for everyone to learn more about the many benefits of Open Access and discuss all things open access with friends and colleagues. This year’s theme, Community over Commercialization, encourages a “candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community, and which do not.” 

This idea echoes the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science that calls for the prevention of “inequitable extraction of profit from publicly funded scientific activities” and instead supports “non-commercial publishing models and collaborative publishing models with no article processing charges.” 

To celebrate Open Access week at Duke, consider:

• Publishing your next article in a PLOS journal. Duke Libraries have an institutional partnership with PLOS to enable Duke authors to freely publish in PLOS with no article processing fees! For more information on this agreement, see our guide on Open Access Options at Duke.
• Negotiating your author rights when publishing. 
• Fully participating in Duke's OA Policy which applies to all Duke faculty members and provides Duke a license to make scholarly articles authored by Duke faculty freely available via DukeSpace, a Duke University Libraries repository.
• Sharing your data, documentation, and software code through the Duke Research Data Repository. 
• Depositing your scholarly outputs through Scholars@Duke. This site has a tool to help you determine if the journal has provided you with the rights to do this.
• Ensuring articles funded by NIH grants and contracts are compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy.
• Sharing your pre-published manuscript on a pre-print server. To learn more about pre-prints, visit the ASAPbio Preprint Resource Center.
• Becoming more open-access savvy by visiting our guide on Getting Published: About Open Access.

Archives Month is an annual, month-long observance of the agencies and people responsible for maintaining and making available the archival and historical records of our nation, state, communities, and people. Archives serve as the memory of our nation, and by celebrating, we recognize and give legitimacy to the enduring value of American records and America’s archives.

We encourage you to check out our Instagram account (use DukeBlue to login) where we'll be highlighting treasures from the Medical Center Archives collection all month long. This month the Society of North Carolina Archivists theme is Scandal, Nuisance, Calamity, and Anguish in the Archives. On October 5, 2023, archivists around the country took to Twitter to respond to questions tweeted with the hashtag #AskAnArchivistDay. Throughout October, we invite you to join us in celebrating the importance of archives as we highlight the history of Duke Health.

The Duke Medical Center Library & Archives announces the addition of our new Graphic Medicine Collection. This collection contains a variety of healthcare related topics discussed through the medium of comics, all which are available for check out. Below is a selection of titles from the collection. To browse the collection, please visit the Medical Center Library Reading Room on Level 1, or peruse the collection via our online catalog. Reviews are excerpted from the publishers.

Medicine: A Graphic History                        
Jean-Noël Fabiani

Cardiac surgeon and professor of medical history Jean-Noël Fabiani stitches together the most significant and intriguing episodes from the history of medicine, from chance breakthroughs to hard-fought scientific discoveries. Spanning centuries and crossing continents, this funny, fast-paced yet rigorously detailed graphic novel guides us through one of the most wondrous strands of human history, covering everything from bloodletting to organ donation, X-rays, and prosthetics.

Kimiko Does Cancer: A Graphic Memoir                        
Kimiko Tobimatsu

With tender illustrations by Keet Geniza, this graphic memoir upends the traditional cancer narrative. Presented from a young woman's perspective, it confronts issues such as dating while in menopause, navigating work and treatment, and talking to well-meaning friends, health care professionals, and other cancer survivors with viewpoints different from her own. Not one for pink ribbons or runs for the cure, Kimiko seeks connection within the cancer community while critiquing the mainstream cancer experience.

Camouflage: The Hidden Lives of Autistic Women                       
Sarah Bargiela

Autism in women and girls is still not widely understood, and is often misrepresented or even overlooked. This graphic novel offers an engaging and accessible insight into the lives and minds of autistic women, using real-life case studies. The charming illustrations lead readers on a visual journey of how women on the spectrum experience everyday life, from metaphors and masking in social situations, to friendships and relationships and the role of special interests.

First Year Out: A Transition Story                        
Sabrina Symington

From laser hair removal and coming out to her parents, to dating, voice training and gender reassignment surgery, this intimate and witty graphic novel follows the character of Lily as she transitions to living as her true, female self. Providing support and guidance on a range of issues such as hormones, medical procedures and relationships, this story traces the everyday thoughts, emotions and struggles many trans and non-binary people face. It seeks to empower those who are starting to question their gender as well as promote wider discussion about the complexities of gender and identity.

Graphic Reproduction: A Comics Anthology                        
Jenell Johnson

This comics anthology delves deeply into the messy and often taboo subject of human reproduction. Featuring work by luminaries such as Carol Tyler, Alison Bechdel, and Joyce Farmer, Graphic Reproduction is an illustrated challenge to dominant cultural narratives about conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. The comics here expose the contradictions, complexities, and confluences around diverse individual experiences of the entire reproductive process, from trying to conceive to child loss and childbirth.

Farewell to Nathan Dunn  
Lesley Skalla, Research & Education

Nathan Dunn, Digital Projects Analyst, left the Medical Center Library & Archives in August for a new position as Data Manager for North Carolina State’s Center for Human Health and the Environment (CHHE). During his time at the Library, Nathan was instrumental in building our new automated NIH Public Access Policy compliance email notification system that debuted in January 2023. He also worked on creating effective data dashboards to help track publications and collections data for the Library.

Nathan came to Duke in May 2022 from the United States Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park. He worked there as an Information Management Contractor and then as an Intern in their library, while working on his Master’s in Library Science degree which he received from North Carolina Central University.

In his new position, Nathan will be supporting CHHE researchers with data management activities so they are compliant with the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.
